Take This Poll, or We’ll Assume You Hate Us
Dear free member,
First: Thank you. You’ve made the noble choice to follow us on Patreon, which means you’re officially one step above the poor souls still scrolling through Instagram like digital vagabonds. We appreciate you. Really.
But now, a confession: We’ve noticed you’re lingering in the Free Tier, that cozy, commitment-free zone where the comics are plentiful but the real magic – early access, behind-the-scenes chaos, high-res downloads that won’t pixelate when you zoom in to inspect our artistic mishaps – remains tantalizingly out of reach. Like a vegan at a steakhouse, you’re here, but you’re not eating. And we can’t help but wonder: What’s holding you back?
Is it the cost? (We get it – times are tough. Inflation is real. Avocado toast is still a scam.) Or is it the fear of commitment?
We’re not here to guilt-trip you. We’re here to bribe you with better stuff. But first, we need to know: What would make you take the plunge? Vote below, or reply with your own demands. We’re open to negotiation (just please don't ask for NFTs).
No pressure. But remember: Free members get some comics. Paid members get all the comics and the beautiful goodness of knowing they’re keeping the lights on.
Thank you and warm regards,
Elizabeth and Jonathan

I love your comics. I'm trying to stay afloat with bills. God bless tariffs and minimum wage. 😭
I have "recently" been looking through everyone on here and signing up to the free tier of everyone who has one who I am vaguely interested in. At some point I hope to go to step two of working out which ones I want to support. To be honest, I am getting all of the content I want off you, but to me Patreon is not about getting anything extra, its about supporting the creator and making sure things don't get hidden by The Algorithm.
I love your stuff. Right now my pocket money is going towards fighting political fascism. Hopefully I can spread it back out again soon.
That's a great cause! Keep on fighting the good fight ✊
There is no $1.00 (US) Tier option, $3.00/month is the minimum step up from 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫.
Here's a $1 level on Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/warandpeas/tiers
A one dollar tier with no added benefits or a middle tier with some patreon only comics or access to a special part of the merch shop would be cool!

if you could destroy capitalism and/or get my job to hire me full time so that I can afford fun stuff and healthcare on top of groceries and rent, I would subscribe instantly :( alas, the horrors persist. at least your funny comics are here to give me a chuckle. most social media is an overstimulating depressing hellscape, but on patreon I can see your work without having to scroll past war crimes or posts about how I'm not doing enough to fight fascism. I appreciate that you offer a free tier, but I understand that you also need to eat. it's rough out there, and we're all doing our best.
i don't hate you ;-) far from it but none of the available answers in the poll are for me im following on the Free(loaders) tier because i don't have instagram and only follow in here and on webtoon (naver) and this is a better and faster way for me to read the news from you whenever you publish.
Makes total sense! Social media is a hellhole!
I would follow a 1€ Tier with no extra benefits. Would that be something you could work with?
We used to have a $1 level, but have decided to only offer levels that offer actual benefits. However, there is such a $1 tier on Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/warandpeas/tiers Honestly, we didn't think anyone would be interested!
I literally have no own income atm. I‘ll reconsider upgrading when I have some spare money.
No worries at all. Thank you for commenting 💋💋
Money is tight. I see a free membership as a happy little bookmark for later when things get better.
It's a great bookmark indeed! We keep making exclusive comics and they'll be waiting for you when things get better 😊 😊
Right now I have 102€ in my banking account and I need to pay for internet and groceries. There is no chance that I can pay for things that are non-essential. And entertainment of any kind is non- essential. I have canceled patreon left and right due to that fact.
No need to explain! We totally get it and we've been there before, too!
PS: If money is tight, no worries. We’ve all been there. But if you do upgrade, we’ll send you a virtual high-five so hard it’ll leave a mark.
